Spring Breeze 1991

"Involving technology requires the approval of the competent department. It used to be the Soviet Defense Science and Technology Committee, and now it is the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine." Lermontov said.

A ship is nothing, but if it involves a full set of technical drawings, it needs to be approved by the higher authorities.

Yao Yuan said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of things in Kyiv. Director Lermontov, you just need to take care of things in the shipyard."

After pondering for a while, Lermontov said in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, I am inclined to the second option, but this matter involves thousands of employees. I would like to hold a staff meeting to discuss it first."

He thought Yao Yuan would agree, but Yao Yuan shook his head and refused.

Yao Yuan said, "Under the current situation, the trade union meeting is meaningless. I am afraid that your leadership team has already collapsed? So, do you think the trade union meeting is still meaningful? I mean, it is best to control the deal with the informed In terms of scope, the sale of the Varyag and the plan to work in China are separate, and the former is not easy to publicize, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.”

Lermontov sighed softly in his heart and couldn't help but nod his head, "You're right, so be it. But I still want to ask Mr. Yao to intercede for us and raise the price."

"This is already the highest price." Yao Yuan said.

After being silent for a while, Yao Yuan said helplessly, "How about this, Nanfang Industrial sells some daily necessities to the Black Sea Shipyard at a low price and accepts rubles."

"Really?" Lermontov was surprised.

Yao Yuan smiled and nodded, "Really, [-]% off the market price."

The most important thing is to accept the ruble. The ruble is about to become a rubbish currency. The workers in the shipyard are not without money, but the money in their hands is depreciating, and their purchasing power is getting weaker and weaker...

"How many?" Lermontov asked hastily.

Living materials are hard currency, sometimes more real than currency.What Lermontov was worried about was the livelihood of the employees. The rubles in his hand could be exchanged for living supplies, which was no different from selling assets for cash.

Yao Yuan thought for a while and asked, "What do you most lack?"

"Food and clothes," replied Lermontov, without thinking.

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "How about guaranteeing that each person can get a hundred catties of meat and two sets of clothes?"

"Okay, okay, great." Lermontov shook Yao Yuan's hand excitedly.

Ukraine was the granary of the Soviet Union, and the output in the early stages of disintegration was still very impressive, so the Ukrainian people did not lack basic food, but they lacked meat.

Yao Yuan said while the iron was hot, "As long as he passes the assessment of Nanfang Industrial, a skilled worker can take his wife and children to China. It is guaranteed that he can eat meat, drink coffee and have new clothes. The children can get a good education and the wife will also get a good education. job."

"Unlimited?" asked Lermontov.

"The Thousand Talents Introduction Program is just a name. 1000 people is the minimum standard, and there is no upper limit. But if you want to obtain Chinese nationality, it's another matter. However, as long as you want to, Director Lermontov, you can get Huaxia immediately." Nationality, and treatment equivalent to academicians of Huaxia Engineering." Yao Yuan once again tested Lermontov's attitude.

This person is so important. He presided over the construction of all Soviet aircraft carriers, from the original aircraft carrier Kyiv to the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk in the No. 1 dock, from key technical positions to the chief technical officer, Lermontov has a lot of experience.

Lermontov shook his head slightly and said, "The tens of thousands of workers in the shipyard need me."

So Yao Yuan stopped entangled in this topic, maybe it was self-defeating, the most urgent thing is to get the Varyag back.

After the negotiation here, the group went straight back to the office building. The legal staff of Nanfang Industrial and Wanli Company took out the contract. The two parties negotiated quickly, signed on the spot after confirmation, and paid the full amount on the spot.

The next day, Lermontov was surprised to find that more than a dozen high-powered ocean-going tugboats appeared on the sea surface of the port. With the help of the shipyard staff, the Varyag was quickly prepared and finally tied to the tugboat. Three days later, The Varyag sailed slowly into the Black Sea under the escort of a dozen high-powered ocean-going tugboats.

Li Yan and his party returned to China with the fleet, while Zhong Weiguo returned to Moscow.

Yao Yuan stayed in the Black Sea Shipyard, and Southern Industrial's large-scale technical personnel introduction plan just started.With the assistance of colleagues from the Eastern Europe Division, the [-]-member team from Southern Industry quickly launched the assessment for the registered employees of the Black Sea Shipyard.

At the beginning, there were relatively few people who signed up. The far east, a country that was behind Ukraine for many years, was really not attractive.Affected by new trends of thought, most Soviet people yearned for Western countries, so-called democratic countries.

They are afraid of China, which is also red.

The staff of Southern Industrial took it easy and continued to work according to the established plan.

With the great help of the embassy, ​​the first batch of employees who passed the assessment quickly obtained work visas to China, and on the same day, the air tickets were delivered to each of them, not for one person, but for a family .The staff of Southern Industry thoughtfully sent daily necessities so that they could distribute them to relatives and friends. They held a farewell banquet that night and asked them to invite relatives and friends to participate as a farewell banquet, a very grand farewell banquet.

The employees who passed the assessment were greatly moved and felt the importance of the new owner.

They all belong to the same factory, just like domestic state-owned enterprises, and most of their relatives and friends are family members of employees of the same factory.When these people learned about the remuneration offered by Nanfang Industry from the people who passed the assessment, their attitudes began to waver. It seems that Huaxia is not so bad?

The next day, someone tried to sign up and immediately got thirty catties of bacon.

As soon as the news spread, more and more people signed up, because as long as they sign up, they can get [-] catties of bacon.

Within two days, almost all the workers in the factory had signed up.

Nanfang Industrial brought in bacon and sent them out one by one, without any sense of distress.

The large-scale examination has begun.

Nanfang Industrial announced that those who pass the first assessment can receive two sets of the latest autumn clothes.Those who did not intend to participate in the assessment at all, when they heard the news, most of them rushed over without any hesitation, and they were very serious and hardworking.

A small number of people who didn't believe in such a beautiful thing, when they saw someone else took two sets of new clothes that were too good-looking, they were immediately moved, and they all ran to the assessment.

After the first round of assessment, Nanfang Industrial announced that those who passed the second round of assessment could get a leather coat, a pair of leather shoes, a leather belt, and a new large suitcase.

This news was even more explosive. Fur coats, cowhide shoes, and leather belts were extremely hard currencies in the market, which immediately excited everyone, even Lermontov.

Especially when they saw the appearance of the person who had already got it on the body, it was a majesty that men could not resist, and a fur coat could be exchanged for a month's food, this kind of temptation made many people flock to it.

At this time, no one was thinking about whether to go to China to work, and everyone was attracted by various gifts.People from Southern Industry said that they don’t force it, even if they pass the assessment and take all the gifts, they don’t require them to go to China to work.

It's just an assessment.

Almost all the people who passed the second round of assessment participated in the third assessment, and half of the people passed this round, leaving only more than 3000 people, all of whom received gifts.

A considerable number of people have quietly changed their minds during this process. The strength demonstrated by Southern Industry and the future life they have portrayed for them through practical actions have already moved them.No matter how beautiful the words are, they are not as convincing as the practical things.

When the more than 3000 people received special visits from the Southern Industry Working Group, almost no one could resist the conditions offered by the Southern Industry.

Take the sixth-level workers as an example. After passing the third round of professional assessment, not only can they bring their wives and children to China, but they can also get a settling allowance of US$300. The monthly salary is US$[-] plus various benefits.

When the Black Sea Shipyard was at its most glorious, the sixth-level workers could not get a monthly salary of 300 US dollars.

Nanfang Industrial promises to solve the family's work, solve the problem of children's schooling, and enjoy the same medical subsidies as the employees of Nanfang Industrial, and the treatment is exactly the same as that of Huaxia workers.

Under the conscious guidance of Nanfang Industrial, most of the elite workers of the Black Sea Shipyard chose to participate in the talent introduction plan to China. Like the first batch of workers who had already gone to China, they received extra treatment by chartering a flight to China.

When boarding the plane, some people suddenly discovered that when the big suitcases were sent out, they had already made up their minds.

Southern Industrial focuses on skilled workers, but it doesn't pay much attention to technical researchers.Yao Yuan thought very clearly that only a small part of the top R&D personnel can be of value. With them, it only takes two or three years to cultivate middle-level technical personnel, and there is no shortage of such personnel in the country.

What are really rare are skilled workers, and skilled workers above level six can be said to be treasures.In normal times, not to mention $300, even with a monthly salary of $3000, it would be difficult to hire a sixth-level worker from abroad.In the Soviet period, because of the state system, unless it was aid, it was impossible to hire Soviet workers.

These senior skilled workers often have unique skills. For example, fitters, some parts can only be turned by him. If someone else does the car, although it can be done, there is a gap in accuracy.

China's worker hierarchy is learned from the Soviet Union, so their worker hierarchy is basically the same.

All the six-level workers and above in the Black Sea Shipyard are the public relations targets of Nanfang Industrial, and all the eight-level workers were visited by Yao Yuan and Qin Zhenjun in person. one grade lower.

Even so, Nanfang Industrial only hired five eighth-level workers in the end.For the Black Sea Shipyard, which has dozens of eighth-level workers, this number is too small.

But Yao Yuan has no better way. There are really some people who are not moved by money, and the loyalty to the country in their hearts is extreme and resolute, even if the country is no longer there.

Yao Yuan could only take pictures slowly, wait for the first batch of workers to work in the direction of the machinery for a period of time, and transmit what he saw, heard and felt back to the Black Sea Shipyard, and then continue to attack those precious eighth-level workers.

If a worker is compared to a soldier, then the eighth-rank worker is the general among the soldiers, and he is as terrifying as the first-rank sergeant major.

Many unremarkable factories in China, because there is an eighth-level worker who can do processing that others can't do, are stunned until the eighth-level worker retires.

Some factories basically revolve around one eighth-level worker. When the eighth-level worker gets sick, the production of the whole factory has to stop. Everyone has a cold, the eighth-level worker is angry, and the factory director and secretary laugh with him.

No exaggeration.

There is no eighth-level worker in Xiangfang Machinery Factory, which is Yao Yuan's biggest knot.A factory without eighth-level workers is soulless and has core competitiveness.He decided to get more eighth-level workers from the Black Sea Shipyard, so that Xiangfang Machinery Factory could process the most precise parts in the world overnight.

Unfortunately, only five were hired.

If it weren't for the blessing of the five-axis linkage machine tool, he really wouldn't dare to touch the lng ship.

Yao Yuan had to consider a backup plan, and called Xiao Jiabing, asking him to speed up the search for eighth-level workers.According to his calculations, at least twenty eighth-level workers are needed to complete the construction of an lng ship.

This is also the reason why the Black Sea Shipyard has dozens of eighth-level workers, and it is also the reason why the Black Sea Shipyard is the only shipyard in the Soviet Union that can build aircraft carriers.

The day before he was about to leave Ukraine for Azerbaijan, Lu Sen suddenly found Yao Yuan and reported some things.

"First of all, it's about recruiting. In the morning, someone from an outside factory came over and asked, they want to join our plan, but our plan is only for the Black Sea Shipyard, and the people below are not sure." Lu Sen held in his hand. On the satellite phone, said.

Yao Yuan asked, "What factory?"

"The ones that process crankshafts are the kind of crankshafts used for propellers, the ones that weigh several tons and tens of tons. There are also those that process propellers and ball heads, and there are many kinds. They are all supporting factories of Heihai Shipyard, and they live by Heihai Shipyard. Yes. The Black Sea Shipyard can still sell its assets to continue its life, and they can only starve after they have no orders." Lu Sen introduced.

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Treat everyone equally, as long as the technical level meets our requirements, the treatment will be the same. Well, please inform me that the scope of the technical personnel introduction plan will be expanded to the whole of Ukraine, and the focus will be on the engine development field."

"Okay, I'll notify you right away."

Lusen added, "The Kyiv Military Region is going to deal with a batch of transport planes, and Khormysky wants to follow up."

"Swiss Super Air Transport Company?" Yao Yuan frowned slightly, almost forgetting that he still has such an air transport company.

"Yes, boss, forget about it." Lu Sen grinned.

Yao Yuan shook his head helplessly, and asked, "How much did Halmyski lose?"

"It's starting to make a profit. Halmysky has done a good job. Last month, he made more than 100 million US dollars. The profit is very good." Lu Sen laughed.

Yao Yuan said, "Can those broken planes make more than 100 million a month?"

"Boss, Halmyski now has more than a dozen planes in his hands, and three of them are Airbus passenger planes, and they are starting to engage in passenger transport." Lu Sen said with a helpless smile.

Having too many companies is also a headache. The boss thought that the super air transport company was the small airline company half a year ago.

Yao Yuan was taken aback, waved his hands to cover up his embarrassment, and asked, "What kind of planes are the Kyiv Military Region handling?"

"Large aircraft, the smallest one is Il-76, there are more than a dozen An-124s, oh, there is also a very, very large one called, it seems to be called An—"

"An-225." Yao Yuan frowned, becoming interested.

There is only one in the world. After resuming operations, the business will be scheduled until 2021...

With a maximum load of 250 tons, a large aircraft that can carry large aircraft...

The concept of 250 tons is equivalent to 10 Su-27s.

The maximum take-off weight is 640 tons, and it has six engines. That is to say, after being filled with cargo, this is a lump of 10000 tons of steel that can fly 640 meters high...
